On September 28, 2015, we had the pleasure of seeing Justice Albie Sachs speak in NYC. Trevor Norwitz, Chairman and President of the UCT Fund, engaged Justice Sachs in conversation to an audience of UCT alumni and friends, where he spoke about some of his life experiences and lessons he’s learned over the years. Our hosts, Midtown law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, were kind enough to record the event, which can see below.

We also took some photos at the event:

Justice Sachs is here in the US in part because of the screenings of the film, Soft Vengeance: Albie Sachs and the New South Africa, from filmmaker and director Abby Ginzberg. He will be making some live appearances in major cities across the US—remaining locations include Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.
